IMPROVEMENT IN COOKlNG-STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 18 [,090, dated August15, 1876; application filed June 3, 1876.

My improvement relates to an ash-box 10- cated below the perforatedbottom of the ashpit, and provided with a register in its side to admitair, so that the ash-box may be utilized as a fire-box, as hereinafterdescribed.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure l is partly a plan View and partly ahorizontal section of a stove constructed according to my invention.Fig. 2 is partly a side elevation and partly a sectional elevation; andFig. 3 is a front elevation.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

In the annexed drawing, A is the ash-box, which I propose to apply underthe ordinary ash-box B, with slotted or perforated openings 0 throughthe bottom plate D for the ashes to fall into it, over which is adamper, E, for closing said openings, to prevent the dust from rising upthrough them when the ashes are being removed from the box A. ThehearthF is provided with a pot-hole, G, and a register,

H, is fixed in the Front side of the ash-box A to admit air, so as toutilize the ash-pit B by the aid of the perforated bottom D, for atirebox for cooking on the hearth when the capacity of the othercooking-holes is not suflicient. The bottom D of the ash-pit is extendedall the way from the hearth to back plate I of the fire-box. Thegrate-bars M are fitted in sockets in front and rear bars J L, to adaptthem to be separately removed. The oven-doors N 0 are provided with micapanels P, and respectively adapted to turn down and swing horizontally,so that the one may be out of the Way of the other, when both are open.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

In a cooking-stove, the ash-box A, having the register H in its frontside for admission of air, when the ash-box is employed as a firebox,the perforated bottom plate D, and the hearth F,covering the ash-pit B,as shown and described, for the purpose specified.
